well seeing as I've left it quite late, and Paul seems to have his hands full (I've had stuff off him before and it's very good).

I though I'd give it a go myself, so a plain black T shirt and a zip up hoodie with a little skull logo was my starting point.

Knocked up this before in Photoshop and printed it out on transfer paper

then onto the front of the T shirt

and something for the back

onto the Hoodie, first a skull and some barbed wire

Then some bike matching decals

A few white letters added

reflecting the actual engine capacity

Then onto the front

Oh and to show the like to the bike's decals

Perhaps not as good as Paul's stuff, but great to do none the less.

Cheers Mark.

how did you get the transfers onto the garments mark, do you have a heat press?

rictus01 · 27-07-10, 04:23 PM

No but the wife has an iron amd greaseproof paper.

Cheers Mark.

How did you cut out the letters and numbers? Are they on a black background?

Looks the dogs

rictus01 · 27-07-10, 10:03 PM

all the orange ones are from a set of bike decals and lazer cut so no no background at all, the white letters are from an alphabet sheet (cost £2.99) so no background other than te hoddie itself.

Cheers Mark.

rictus01 · 27-07-10, 10:04 PM

the two on the T shirt are just Iron on sheet and inkjet printed, then cut out.

Cheers Mark.

Ahhh

So how have you got the decals to stay on? Have they just stayed on with the iron?

I make a lot of my own stuff for the ferret rescue so just wanting a couple of ideas

rictus01 · 27-07-10, 10:19 PM

yeah I done a little experimenting and a hot Iron for about 90 seconds works fine. it's very thin vinyl after all, cover with greaseproof paper and it won't stick to the iron, rub in for about a minute while it cools and peel the greaseproof off smoothly.

Cheers Mark.
